Fail to plan and you're planning to fail

As Benjamin Franklin famously said, ‘fail to planning and you’re planning to fail’. Though he may not have been talking about stationery at the time, if he’d seen our fantastic range of specially designed Planning Boards, he’d probably have invested in a few for the walls of the White House! An essential resource for individuals, groups and companies that need to stay organised, Planning Boards can help to make sure everyone is on the same page, that deadlines are met and that everyone knows exactly what they should be doing and when. If you’re in the process of organising your home or office, here are a few reasons why a Planning Board should be right at the top of your stationery wish list. Simple and effective Though most people now have calendars, diaries and reminders on their phones, Planning Boards remain enduringly popular as many people find it easier to visualise their schedule using a physical planner. Having the weeks, months and years spread out in front of you can help to crystallise plans and bring different peoples’ schedules and diaries together. Having a simple Planning Board in a busy office is also a good way for people to keep up to date with their colleagues’ movements as meetings, events and outings can be quickly and easily added to the board. Environmentally friendly If you’re currently using notes or paper calendars to plan events and meetings at home or at work, switching to a Planning Board will help you to cut down your use of paper and do your bit for the environment. Made from durable materials and featuring a dry-wipe magnetic surface, our Planning Boards can be used again and again, making sure there’s always somewhere to jot down your meetings, events and deadlines. At the end of the week, month or year, you can simply wipe the board clean and begin all over again. A good way to stay focused Having deadlines and other commitments laid out on the wall for all to see is a great way to keep the office motivated and ensure everyone stays focused on the task at hand. If you continually update your Planning Board, no one will have an excuse to be late with their work, miss deadlines or forget about meetings, something that can be a big boost for small businesses. Used extensively by the NHS, schools and offices around the country, Planning Boards are useful and effective tools that can transform the way an organisation operates.
